In these consolidated appeals involving three separate 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas proceedings, Michael Fiorito challenges the district court’s1 November 2, 2022 order denying his petitions, all of which asserted claims related to his confinement at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota, between September 2021 and May 2022.
